# Export and Import Cells To or From Templates

You can import or export one or more cells of a spreadsheet, including their contents as Templates. This allows you to share a collection of cells either inside a job, or with other jobs. Once these cell templates have been created, you can simply drag and drop them onto the Spreadsheet.

Note: The AcquireImage function (A0) does not contain any arguments, and the acquisition settings are not retained when exporting the cells as a cell template. To export the acquisition settings, add ApplyAcquisitionSettings to the spreadsheet, enable the parameters that you desire to retain, set the settings to the desired values, and then export ApplyAcquisitionSettings as a cell template. When the cell template that contains ApplyAcquisitionSetting is imported, the acquisition settings will be applied to the AcquireImage function once the ApplyAcquisitioSettings cell is executed.
